I believe the song is one of a person's transition from loss soul turning corrupt through their own narration of events.
The first verse shows someone who is struggling with themselves and is almost begging to be another person then who they already are. The last line to me means that he's given up hope and is "food for the birds." He has died on the inside at this point
The next line is where this lost soul is given up following the rules of society and almost entered into insanity. The first line shows anger and that he is taunting his enemies to come get him, losing all hope previously has allowed him to not care anymore about his actions and feels no limitations or consequences to his actions. The last line with a gun and a pack of sandwiches to me shows that he is not bounded by his conscious to act within a reasonable manner (the gun) but that he is almost insane by this new freedom that he doesn’t realize how far out of the realm of society he has fallen (the sandwiches, a very abnormal thing to carry along with a gun, and almost adds an innocence to his gun and actions because he no longer has any grip to the extent of what he is doing) the last line also stresses the loss of hope he has had and that nothing can affect him anymore. He has no soul and does not care what happens to him
The last verse is the consequences of his actions and the deep hole that he has lead him to. Its almost as this verse is the consequences to his actions in the second one. He has ultimately destroyed his enemies and this is almost society now fighting at him for what he did. He is "hiding behind a door, waiting for it to be broken down" almost as if this is authority coming after him. He just keeps repeating this showing that he is not afraid, but just waiting and is "ready", showing again that by hitting bottom previously that he is ready for what ever comes to him because it doesn’t matter to him anymore. He had already died on the inside at the start of the song, therefore he is not scared of anything else befalling him, even death its self
Beautiful interpretation. The song is so few words but you captured the entire journey of one man. I know I have felt this sentiment at times, so detached from the world around me…I dream of death and it is nothing but a calm letting go of the society that has created such things as talk show hosts, guns, and packs of sandwiches. A sweet embrace to let go of all that we know that makes us want to explode.

it's not that deep about the sandwiches. he's bringing them with the gun because he'll "be waiting." he's biding his time, like a sniper.
